What Is a Side Table?

A side table is a small, freestanding piece of furniture designed to sit beside seating or a bed, providing surface area for lamps, drinks, or decorative objects. Side tables and end tables are functionally the same; "end table" typically refers to placement at the end of a sofa, while "side table" is a broader term for any small accent table that supplements a room's primary furniture.

What You Get With the Furniture Classics Cream Magdalin Side Table

1. Turned-Leg Mahogany Frame -- solid wood construction with classic turned legs for durability and traditional style.
2. Carved-Front Drawer -- a single drawer with decorative carved detailing hides remotes, coasters, and reading glasses.
3. Soft Cream Finish -- a neutral white-cream paint brightens dark corners and pairs with farmhouse, coastal, or transitional decor.
4. Brass Hardware -- a single brass pull adds a warm metallic accent without overwhelming the light palette.
5. Compact 24-Inch Width -- narrow enough for hallways, entryways, or tight bedroom corners where a full console won't fit.
6. 29.25-Inch Height -- positions the table surface at standard sofa-arm height for easy reach from seated positions.

How Do You Style a Side Table?

Layer a small table lamp or candle, a stack of two or three books, and a low plant or decorative object to create height and texture; in a bedroom, swap the books for a carafe of water and an alarm clock. The cream finish of this piece pairs well with natural-fiber baskets in an end table grouping, woven trays in living room furniture vignettes, or brass picture frames that echo the drawer pull, and its narrow profile fits comfortably in dining room furniture nooks as a drink station or accent table beside an armchair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a side table and an end table?

There is no functional difference; "end table" typically describes placement at the end of a sofa, while "side table" is a general term for any small table positioned beside furniture.

What height should a side table be next to a sofa?

A side table should be within two inches of the sofa arm height -- usually 24 to 30 inches -- so you can set down a drink without reaching up or bending down; at 29.25 inches, the Magdalin table works for standard sofas with 27- to 31-inch arms.

How tall should an end table be?

End tables typically range from 24 to 30 inches tall to align with sofa or chair armrests, and the 29.25-inch height of this table falls in the ideal range for most seating.

What size side table next to a chair?

Choose a side table that stands level with or one to two inches below the chair arm, and ensure the tabletop is large enough -- at least 15 inches -- to hold a lamp base and a drink; the 24 × 18-inch Magdalin surface accommodates both.

Does this side table ship for free?

Yes, LOOMLAN provides free shipping to the continental United States with no minimum order.

Does the drawer require assembly?

The table arrives fully assembled with the drawer installed; you only need to unbox and position it.
